A Hinckley nightclub that has been empty for over 10 years is to open its doors again tomorrow.

The club - formerly known as Ally Cats - has been transformed by Cadeby-based George Denny who has vowed to bring back the good old days to Hinckley.

Mr Denny bought the building, along with the former George Ballroom and The Bounty, and said he wants to recreate the heady days of the 1980s.

The businessman said that “no expense has been spared” throughout the process of transforming the club.

He said: “We have really brought the building up to date. It now has state-of-the-art lighting, air conditioning and new decor.

“When you walk in it feels like you’re in the back of a stately home. I want people to relive the nights when the town was packed. We want people to come and relive their memories of the good old days.”

The building work took around eight months to complete, with the work on The Bounty taking around six months.

Mr Denny said that since the opening of The Bounty in May this year, he has been overwhelmed with the amount of support that he has received.

He said: “Since opening the front we have been really pleased to see faces in the town that haven’t been out for 10 or 20 years.

“I hope that more people will come out to see the back.

“I’m planning on holding various themed nights and band nights in the future. There will be something for the whole of Hinckley to enjoy.

“I’d like to thank everyone that has helped to make this possible and everyone who has supported us.”

The club will be open to the public on Friday evening at 10pm where there will be a 1980s style disco.The event is for over 21s only.
